about letter from this gentleman re
piled the Judge. "Did you take any OF the
mediclne?"
'Tdid.n
Sand did you," asked Mr.. Walker, "fini
yourself in any way the worse for itl"
81 can not say that did, Upon whicb
Mr. Walker sat down.
COR any the better for it," asked d.
Fripp, rising to cross-examine.
81 can not say that ejther' replied th
Archbishop, amid some laughter.
81 suppose, in the course of year, YOU
Grace receives a good many presents d
this kindln
"Many hundreds, and they all want test
monials."
81 hope that they are not all going to sub
ppna your Grace to give evidence,n Oh
served the Judge, at which there was NOR
laughter.
''Y GU say you were not any the better fo
the remedy" said Mr.. Walker, his opponep
having sat down. ''Was there any thing th
matter with you when you took ltl''
Nothing whatever"
'Then you could hardly have been TIE
better for it," continued the aggrievd
plaintiff, with a knowing look at the jur,
"And you have enjoyed perfect health sine
you took the remedy"
Certainly"
"Thank you. Now, call General Lori
Dongola." a
Lord Dongola, who also attended on si3-,
poena, admitted that he, too, had recefved
by post bottle OF Watha, but denied that
he had taken any Of the remedy.
II need scarcely ask a soldier like your
self whether he is in unusually pretty good
health.W
His Lordship said he was.
"Don't trouble the doctors mich, in a
general way, l suppose"
The great soldier shook his hesl, and the
spectators Uttered.
"Now, have you taken any othr medicine
since you received ours?"
II believe not"
THAT will do, thank you"
The defendant having put aewquestions
to Lord Dongola Mr.. Wake next called
Lord Berry Charlesford.
Greatly there must be som, limit to this"
said Mr.. Justice LittleknaP. "You may
have sent bottles of your stiff to everybody
in London"
Il believe have, my Lori" observe the
unabashed Mr.. Walker.
"Very possibly; but we car not have them
all here to give evidence"
"My Lord" replied the phintiff, 81 only
propose to call few individuals whose
position places their evidente above suspi-
cion."
"What do you mean by few Individuals"
inquired the Judge.
'Let me see," Mr.. Walker said, referring
to list. 81 have three eminent ministers
of different denominations, the lessee of
Drury Lane Theatre, the ex-Chancellor of
the Exchequer, half-a-dozen members of
the Royal Society, the Poet Laureate, the
Chairman of the Metropolitan Rail-"
''My Lord, if it will save the time of the
court" interposed DIR. Fripp, 81 am quite
willing to admit that all these gentlemen
have swallowed the plaintiffs mixture, and
that they are still alive''
VERY proper That is quite enough for
you at present." said the Judge to the
plaintiff. "You shall have an opportunity
calling some of these gentlemen after
wards if it be necessary. 1t is my
duty to see that the public time is not
wasted AS it is now nearly ten minutes to
four, shall adjourn till tomorrow" And
without waiting for further argument, his
Lordship hurried out of court, and the first
days proceedings came to an end.
The newspaper reports of the case caused
the court to be crowded to suffocation on
the second morning, when the spectators
were rewarded by the appearance in the
flesh of the heroic GuteschWindel, who
went into the box and answered his calm-
niator by telling IN detail the story of his
discovery. A very wonderful story it was.
1t filled two columns in the next days
papers, and Silas p. Walker said it would
have been dirt cheap at hundred guineas
a column. After Guteschwindel the PLAIN
tiff began on what he called his ''miracu-
lous cures" One by one the quondam suf-
ferers gave their testimony to the virtues
of the great remedy, and might have gone
on doing so till the long vacation, for Mr.
Walker had a hotel full of them in the
but before that limit was reached
Mr.. Justice Littleknapp again interviewed
The trial had been going on in this way
for two or three days, or more, when Mr..
Solomon Levy, the proprietor of lHamnson,
hurried into the room of Mr.. Hamilton
Twigg, his manager and factotum. Mr..
Levy had returned hastily from business
in the provinces, and seemed a good deal
ruf1ed.
Il say, Twigg, YOU have let that beggar
Fripp, steal march on US this time, con-
found you I" he cried.
mot so sure about that,n replied Twigg,
coolly.
II am, though. Here he is, advertising
himself day after day as the champion of
financial integrity, and all the world listen
ing. It'll be worth thousands to him.
"Thinl1 so?''
"Think so! Have you seen the evidence
Walker called yesterday about the circula-
ton of the SPECTATOR? Here's chap from
the Office who swears that they are doing
thirty thousand per week; and then there
are people who say that thoy have read the
libel in all parts of the kingdom, not to
mention America, and not word of it con-
tradicted ~
81 know. And what do you think it all
means. l believe that It's a got-up thing
between Walker and Fripp."
"And dcuccd well got-up thing, too, if
that's all Why the dickens couldn't we
have got it up3"

''You! What do you meant"
"Wait and see, , was Mr.. Twigg's oracu.
lar response.
Mr.. Levy had no alternative but to wait,
and this is what he saw.
The Watha trial ran its course. DR.. Fripp
made a very good fight Of it. and called a
good deal of evidence to show that the
Great Indian Remedy was all humbug. But
he was overmatched all along the line. The
Judge summed up dead against him, the
